Simplified forward-link power control law in cellular CDMA

Power control, a key feature of CDMA systems, is examined and discussed with a focus on the base-to-mobile link. The problem of finding an optimal power control law is considered, the optimality of the PCL is precisely stated, and a class of very simple PCLs, which achieve almost optimal performance in terms of system utilization, is proposed. Based on a completely analytical approach, results for the system performance are computed and discussed.<
